Frank
\nda Silva Castro<\/a>\u2019s luck has seemingly deserted him, as a second
\nchance on
\nDana White\u2019s Contender Series<\/a> has now fallen apart.<\/p>\n

Castro (8-0-1) was originally scheduled to fight An Tuan Ho<\/a>
\non DWCS last year. However, he withdrew for undisclosed reasons and
\nwas replaced by Eduardo
\nHenrique<\/a>. He maintained his undefeated record with a win on the
\nregional circuit earlier this year to earn another shot at an
\n
\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a> contract.<\/p>\n

Frank da Silva Castro is reportedly out of DWCS Week 5 against
\nColton Loud<\/h2>\n

Castro was scheduled to face Colton Loud<\/a>
\n(7-1) in
\nWeek 5<\/a> of DWCS 2026 on Sept. 8 at Meta Apex in Las Vegas.
\nHowever, he has reportedly been forced out of the matchup due to
\nvisa issues.<\/p>\n

Still just 22 years old, the unbeaten Brazilian bantamweight has
\nplenty of time to make it to the UFC, but will likely need to
\nreturn to the regional scene and pick up more wins while his visa
\nissues get sorted out.<\/p>\n

Castro will now be replaced by undefeated prospect Christian
\nNatvidad (9-0), whose gym confirmed the same on Instagram.<\/p>\n
